Joined a Couple of Forums

Yesterday I joined a couple of new to me forums. My Quilt Place  http://myquiltplace.com/  has been a good experience so far. I only found it yesterday tho. I have worked on my own page and made it personal to me. I have posted a few comments and had some feedback from a couple of members. So I have had a good time on  it so far. Time will tell I suppose.

The other forum is Quilting Around The World  http://www.quiltingaroundtheworld.com/default.aspx
I had some trouble. Whether it was my fault for not knowing what I was doing or if there was something else wrong I really don't know. There are several security blocks set up on this site. That sort of bothered me. I went through the registering process and still couldn't post anything,. I didn't have access to anything. I could read some of the forums but couldn't  post. I couldn't find anywhere to send a message to anyone. There is no contact info. I finally pieced together from some of the messages that  GardenGal was the admin. There was nothing to say she was the admin but she was the one in charge. So I assumed she was and sent a pm. That was the only thing I was allowed to do on the site. She did pm me back and said she fixed it and now I had access.  I haven't looked around anymore on there. I will spend some time checking it out tho before I give up on it. I'm not impressed with the site so far tho. But it could have been my own fault that I wasn't able to navigate the site. Again time will tell.

I have been a member of the Quilting Board since March 09. It is a great place to make friends and I really enjoy it. I do like to check out other forums tho. I enjoy seeing what other quilters are up to.

Wishing you all sunshine and laughter!!   May God Bless You and Keep You in His Hands!!

Block of the Week on Quilting Haven

I post a quilt block designed by me every Friday on the Qulting Haven. The one I did for yesterday I really really like. so thought I would share it with you.

I name all my quilt blocks with old fashioned ladies names as I find it hard to come up with new names for my designs. I think the old fashioned names go really well with quilt blocks!

 Here is Daphne

This quilt block uses my Wings Block method. You can click on the Wings directions above on the tabs.

All you have to do to make this is to learn how to make a Wings Block

   Once you have learned how to make these Wings units then you just need to put the colors in the right places and then sew the squares together into the quilt block.


 Here you can see the blocks laid out as you would sew them together into the quilt block. Make sure you pay attention to where the color is and that the blocks are turned the right way or you will get a totally differant look to your quilt block!! LOL

                                                   

Hope you like this one as much as I do!!  Rhonda
